Corrected entry: The little girl at the end is reading a book called "Millions of Cats," a book that I own two copies of - one printed in 1928, one in 1996. The film takes place around the 1950s, so it is not incorrect for her to be reading that book, but, she is reading the version printed in 1996, not the one she should be reading, printed in 1928.

Correction: By the end of the film, the action is taking place in the present day, so using the newer version of the book is not out of place.

A Beautiful Mind (2001)

Corrected entry: In the scene where John is carried out of Dr. Rosen's office by the orderlies, he is not dragging along the wheelchair, but when he leaps out of it moments earlier, he was chained to it by his ankles. The two orderlies make no attempt to remove his ankle shackles. (01:09:05)

Correction: When the two orderlies first enter the room, one passes in front of Nash's face, goes out of shot down to his feet, and there is a sound of metal, like a key in a lock, and then he comes back into shot, to pick John up by his upper arms or shoulders.

A Beautiful Mind (2001)

Corrected entry: Just before John's admitted to the mental hospital, he's giving a lecture. Before he runs into the lecture theater he leaves his briefcase on the floor outside, but when he's giving the lecture, the briefcase is open next to him.

Correction: Nash drops the briefcase to hug Marcy, and talks briefly to Charles, but he has it in his arms again as he leaves Charles to go into the lecture, and the first shot inside the lecture theatre is of the briefcase open next to the podium.

Corrected entry: Remember the scene near the beginning of the movie where Nash is in his room trying to come up with his original idea and hits his head against the window. When he turns to his imaginary roommate after that, there is blood on his forehead. Then, in some of the next shots, his forehead is clean, and then the blood returns on it.

Correction: There is blood on Nash's forehead throughout this scene. Sometimes it is more or less evident depending on the camera angle, but it can be seen consistently.

A Beautiful Mind (2001)

Corrected entry: In the scenes where John Nash is doing his work in the garage, when we get a shot of the outside of the garage sometimes it's a single garage and somtimes a double.

Correction: There are two buildings behind the house - a double garage, right behind the house, and further back in the woods a smaller building where Nash does his work. This is most obvious in the scene where Alicia discovers what he's been doing - she puts the basket of washing down by the first building and then walks a bit further to look inside the second.
